Reliability of the Pragmatic Rating Scale in High Functioning Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Download2014-06-02
Funk, Vanessa, Thompson, Pamela, Scherz, Danielle
Background: Pragmatic skills are, by definition, impaired in people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). These difficulties can negatively influence a person’s interpersonal relationships, their ability to find employment and their overall quality of life. Currently, there is little research...

Fatigue assessments have been carried out predominantly with quasi-deterministic approaches, such as the use of S–N curves. However, both the loading and the resistance of fatigue prone components are subjected to significant uncertainties. Consequently, a prediction of the remaining fatigue life...

RELIABLE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS USING MULTIPLE SINKS AND DEGREE CONSTRAINED SHORTEST PATH TREES
DownloadSpring 2013
Wireless Sensor networks (WSN) have gained attention in both industry and academia due to their versatile fields of application. One of the main characteristics of a sensor node is its limited energy supply. The network needs to be reliable in the sense that it can deliver the data to sink with...

Hooked end steel fibers were included between 0~1% by volume to provide enhanced shear resistance to three different types of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) namely, a regular concrete mix, a lightweight aggregate mix and a high strength mix. The test results at the material scale showed a...

Shear Behaviour of Concrete Slabs and Beams Reinforced with High-Performance ASTM A1035 Steel
Download2013-09-30
Lubell, Adam S., Desalegne, Admasu S.
High-performance steel bars manufactured to conform to ASTM A1035-11 have different metallurgy and microstructure than conventional reinforcing steel. These changes result in an effective yield strength significantly higher than conventional ASTM A615 steel while also being less susceptible to...
